Hi all. I have been scouring the internet for so long looking for help and found you guys on here.

I'm 28 years old, and all of my life I have felt out of step, never fitted in. Not much of the world makes sense to me no matter how hard I try. I have always absorbed other people's feelings...to me the world is a harsh place. I feel extremes of emotions from humans and animals alike. I feel everything! Everything is absorbed deep into my soul even events way back in history. And so far it has been my curse because I can't make sense of it. So many questions run through my mind every single day...what exactly IS this? And why me? What am I to do? How can I turn this into something positive or at least learn how to cope because at times it exhausts me to the point I just go into a deep sleep. My only outlet is my writing. I'm hoping that someone can please help me or at least tell me what has been happening to me since birth?
